every article of furniture.
A housekeeper says: "There is nothing
better for dish-cloths than old, or cheap,
or part-worn canton flannel. II makes a
sensible dish-cloth- wrings dry and wipes
nicely.
Cheese cloth makes the best busters.
1t costs five cents per yard, four yards
making six busters. These should be
hemmed on the ends, the selyage edge
answering the sides.
Keep piece of sand-paper with the
holder folded up in the ironing cloth
ready for use. There is nothing better
to clean the face OF hat-iron of rust,
starch or any blur that may get on it.
Elevation of the head of the bed, by
placing under each leg block of the
thickness of two bricks, is stated TO be an
effective remedy for cramps. Patients
who have suffered at night, crying aloud
with pain, have found this plan to afford
immediate relief.
Pretty toilet cushions are made of fig
ured China silk, or of silk with tiny en-
broidered blossoms. A six-inch square
OF silk is used; it Is stuffed and surround
ed by roll of waddng. Over this eurah
is puffed, and is confined at the corners
by bows of ribbon. The color may con-
trast or harmonic.
Dark green shades are the most SER
viceable in the kitchen, although half
curtains made of checked bingham, cot
tage muslin, or cheese cloth, run on tapes
and tackled to the window sash, will in
some cases be all that is needed; and it is
always convenient to have two sets, so as
to change comfortably when necessary.
This recipe for brown bread will make
a good-sized loaf. Two cups of yellow
Indian meal, one cup of rye -four, one
cup of graham -four, one cup of New Or

stiff batter. Pour into buttered mold
and steam three hours and half When
done brown in the oven.
To prevent cresking hinges, to make
latches slide easily, and indeed, to reduce
any refractory iron work to terms, the
application of a soft lead pencil is equally
as effective as oil. One clear advantage
is that the use of the pencil for this pur-
pose obviates the chances of soiling the
hands or garments, while the annoyance
is ordinarily removed by a very few
touches of the pencil.
LEMONS AS MEDIcINE.-The acid prop

effect which is favorable toward overcom-

THE FACE OF THE PHOTO.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

1t will be best to say at once where,
what and who l am. My name is Charles
Edward Fame. / am an engraver, and
live in Fallowfield, near Manchester.
And further, am twenty five years old
tall, slender, have little muetache -oi
which 1 am of course proud-,and am
altogether not bad looking. On the
whole, am leading quiet life; have
pretty place to live in; my work is well
paid. My Aunt Bessie, a dear, good
soul, is keeping house for me, and 60 l
have decided to remain single for some
time to come.
Nothing important happened in my
quiet every day life until the day after
Christmas, 1886. will relate how it all
came about.
On this day had some pressing work
to finish. l moved my working table
near the window. My aunt read to me
from the Manchester Guardian about
the great snowstorms in Germany, which
OF course was interesting TO us, not be-
ing accustomed to see such masses of
snow in this country. Aunt Bessie is a
good reader. Sometimes she will stum-
BILE over some difficult words, but still
she minds her full stops and commas
strictly. Well, this time she read to me
until it was dark and my work was fin
ished.
Do you know, little aunt" 1 called
out, -" l am going to Manchester? It will
be walk for me through the fields. I
shall come back with the omnibus, We
will then have late tea, and you may
read little more to me-"
"And what shall it be?" asked my
aunt.
"Tll tell you what: Lorna Doone,'
with its snow poetry of past centuries,
that is the right book for u.s." said.
Everything will seem to us more nat
uIal, and We will understand it better
after having read about the snowstorms
in Germany"
got ready to go, dressed warmly, put
my work in the breast pocket of my in
side coat, for, as have said before, my
work was pressing and important one,
and 1 wished TO deliver it the same even
ing at the printing place in Peter street,
Manchester.
1t was dark outside, the lamps were
already lit, bat it was very still all around.
turned to the road which would lead me
past some houses into an open field and
into the road to Peter street.
1 walked quickly, for 1 felt cold coming
out Of the warm room into the cold air.
My attention WAS attracted by the calm
air and the heavy sky. l could not hear
the omnibuses and wagons which went
to and from Manchester. l lifted up my
head and felt great drops OF water, as I
thought, in my face. Bat was mis-.
taken. 1t was snow-great snowhakes
coming down-and SO found myself in
big snowstorm.
pushed bravely along, but soon found
that it became more and more difficult TO
walk. I was covered with snow. 1t got
darker and darker, 30 that l lost my way.
1 did not know whether to turn right or
left, and where was right or left?
wandered and wandered, right and left
but no road was TO be found.

At last found wall right before me.

exhausted, 1 tried TO knock. No answer.

Sweet potatoes cooked in this way are
delicious. After boiling the potatoes,
peel them and slice them lengthwise. Put
layer of the slices in buttered dish;
sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar
and put tiny bits of butter here and
there; add another layer of potatoes,
sprinkling them as before, and continue
until all are used, putting a little more
butter on the top of the last layer. Bake
in a good oven a delicate brown and
serve.

When the color of fabric has been destroyed
by an acid, ammonia is applied to neutralize

GREASE SPoTs.-To remove grease spots,
thoroughly saturate with turpentine, place
soft blotting paper beneath and another on

place in the fat remaining two onions which
have been peeled and chopped fine. When
they are all we'll cooked, remove the kettle
from the stove and put in a layer of clans

pinch of cayenne pepper and little -four.
Having saved all the water which was found
in the CLANS, strain it and add with cold
water enough to make gallon. Return to

then add five or six crackers, known as pilot
crackers, or even sea- biscuit, broken in
pieces two or three inches in size, and let it
cook half an hour longer.
